/tmp/lvm.log keeps growing in Host
by kanehisa＠ktcsp.net 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

I don't understand why lvm.log is placed in /tmp directory without rotation. I noticed this fact when I got the following event notification every 2 hours. EventID ：24 Message ：Critical, Low disk space. Host ovirt01 has less than 500 MB of free space left on: /tmp. Low disk space might cause an issue upgrading this host. As a workaround, I added a log rotation setting to /tmp/lvm.log, but is this the correct way? I should have understood the contents of the Python program below before asking the question, but please forgive me because I am not very knowledgeable about Python. # cat /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/blivet/devicelibs/lvm.py | grep lvm.log config_string += "log {level=7 file=/tmp/lvm.log syslog=0}" Thanks in advance!!

4.4.9 -> 4.4.10 Cannot start or migrate any VM (hotpluggable cpus requested exceeds the maximum cpus supported by KVM)
by Jillian Morgan 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

After upgrading the engine from 4.4.9 to 4.4.10, and then upgrading one host, any attempt to migrate a VM to that host or start a VM on that host results in the following error: Number of hotpluggable cpus requested (16) exceeds the maximum cpus supported by KVM (8) While the version of qemu is the same across hosts, ( qemu-kvm-6.0.0-33.el8s.x86_64), I traced the difference to the upgraded kernel on the new host. I have always run elrepo's kernel-ml on these hosts to support bcache which RHEL's kernel doesn't support. The working hosts still run kernel-ml-5.15.12. The upgraded host ran kernel-ml-5.17.0. In case anyone else runs kernel-ml, have you run into this issue? Does anyone know why KVM's KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS value is lowered on the new kernel? Does anyone know how to query the KVM capabilities from userspace without writing a program leveraging kvm_ioctl()'s? Related to this, it seems that ovirt and/or libvirtd always runs qmu-kvm with an -smp argument of "maxcpus=16". This causes qemu's built-in check to fail on the new kernel which is supporting max_vpus of 8. Why does ovirt always request maxcpus=16? And yes, before you say it, I know you're going to say that running kernel-ml isn't supported. -- Jillian Morgan (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ Systems & Networking Specialist Primordial Software Group & I.T.

oVirt host deploy: disable multipath
by femi adegoke 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472356 There are 2 drives in my install that oVirt is claiming as multipath. I have tried blacklisting at /etc/multipath/ but that hasn't worked. Any better solutions? I need these 2 drives to be non-multipathed.

4.5.2 Create Additional Gluster Logical Volumes fails

Hi, In 4.4 adding additional gluster volumes was a simple ansible task (or via cockpit). With 4.5.2 I tried to add new volumes but the logic has changed/broken.

oVirt On Rocky 8.x - Upgrade To Rocky 9.1
by Matthew J Black 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Hi All, Sorry if this was mentioned previously (I obviously missed it if it was) but can we upgrade an oVirt (latest version) Host/Cluster and/or the oVirt Engine VM from Rocky Linux (RHEL) v8.6/8.7 to v9.1 (yet), and if so, what is / where can I find the procedure to do this - ie is there anything "special" that needs to be done because of oVirt, or can we just do a "simple" v8.x +> v9.1 upgrade? Thanks in advance Cheers Dulux-Oz
